SAMPLE-DISPLAY CAB D.

Application filed May 26.

-Cards, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to sample display cards designed especially for use in connection with textile fabrics of various kinds.

Heretofore sample holders for such fabrics have been used in the form of cards on which samples, in some cases, were pasted at one end, leaving a loose end that curled and became unsightly after being used for a limited time, and in other cases the samples were pasted upon a sheet over its entire area.

In both of such cases the samples could not be removed and replaced by others.

Cards or sheets have also been used, in which samples have been inserted leaving loose ends on the back of the card which were covered by a second sheet, serving as a backing for the card.

This invention has for its main object to provide a sample card for textile and other uses, comprising a single sheet adapted to enable samples to be readily inserted therein and removed therefrom, and in which the inserted ends of the sample binders will be held flat, without any projections or loose ends extending outwardly from the back of the card, and without the use of a second sheet to protect the inserted ends of the sample binders.

With the foregoing, and other objects in view, hereinafter stated, the invention consists of the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more specifically stated, and illustrated in the accompanying"drawings, wherein is shown a device embodying the structure of the in vention in its preferred form, but it is to be understood that changes, variations and modifications may be resorted to without departing from the scope of the invention.

In describing the invention in detail, reference is had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specific..- tion, and wherein like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several. views, and wherein:

Fig. 1 is a plan View of a. sample card, in the form of a binder, partly broken away,

1924. Serial No. 715,785.

embodying the invention, parts thereof showing the samples in place, and parts with the samples removed from the card.

Fig. 2 is a plan of the back of a section of the card shown in Fig.1.

8 is a plan of the front of a sample mounted on a binder, and

Fig. dis a plan of the back of the sample and binder shown in Fig. 3.

illustrated in the drawings 1 repre sents a folder card having on its mainsed tion a plurality of cutouts preferably arranged in parallel lines extending transversely on the card, and having a folder section The cutouts in their preferred form are provided with a vertical edge 3 and a horizontal edget. The horizontally disposed edges being oppositely disposed to each other, with the vertical edges offset from. said horizontal edges.

The corners of the cutouts are preferably rounded as at 5 to readily receive the ends of a sample binder 6. The opposite ends of the binder 6 are preferably cut on a bias, so as to make a reduced end on the binder to readily enter between and beneath the cutouts.

One end of the binder may be made shorter than the other, and the outlines of the cutouts may be modified, if so desired.

The cutouts for each end of a binder are spaced apart a distance preferably less than the width of the end of the binder, so that the ends of the binder may cover the marginal edges of the body portion formed by the cutouts.

By means of such construction all of the parts of the samples will lie flat on the face of the card and present a neat appearance displaying the sample to the best advantage.

The back of the main section of the card as shown in Fig. 2 will also be free from projections or loose ends, of any kind, without the aid of a second sheet to protect the ends of the sample binders.

Such results are accomplished because of the fact that the ends of the binders lie on the face of the card or sheet, intermediate the cutouts which serve as a support therefor, and only the inclined edges of the ends of the binders are exposed on the back of the sheet .or card, thereby leaving the back of the sheet or card free from projecting loose ends of any kind.

A set of cutouts for each end of a binder my be made on opposite sides of a card for a binder extending across the card or it de* sired two samples and binders may be arranged on the same transverse line of a card, as indicated by 8 in Fig. 1. V

The samples are secured to the binders preferably by pasting the tree margins of the sample on to the back of the binder, leaving the face of the sample free from adhesion to the binder as shown in Figs, 3 and 4.

As illustrated in Fig. 1, the main section of the card is formed with a binder section 2, which may be laid over onto the samples, to protect the face of the samples. That is not an essential feature of the invention, however, and for most purposes the main section 1 in the form of a card or sheet may be used independently of any folder section,

and when so used may, if desired, be prorided with apertures 9,'by means of which tne cards or sheets may be filed in a suitable holder or cabinet.

lVhat I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

A. sample card cut to provide pairs of oppositely disposed lips, certain of the margins of each pair being disposed in parallelism to form an intermediate body portion between the lips, and the other margins of said pair being arranged at an angle to the first named margins, eachot' said pairs of lips being capable of having a portion of one end of a sample binder inserted beneath the same with the remaining portion of the binder overlying said intermediate body portion.

In testimony whereof I have aiiixed my signature.
